'85 Suburban conversion was a 12V, then a 24V, now for sale...

[sbentz]

If you are thinking about doing a GM conversion, check out this one. I did it in 1990, and put a 12 V 160 HP in. Ran it for 300K, still running strong, and then dropped in a 24V. Put 30K on it, and now it is extra in the fleet.



If you want to get a 24V, 2000 HO, for a GM conversion, here is the bargain. Buy this, and have everything you need. Or run this as is!



I need to get $9,500 or so out of it.

I have a few questions about your conversion it looks like you used the old TCM motor mounts that tilted the motor to the side did you?? what intercooler did you use? and lastly how much of the dodge wire harness did you use?





Thanks

Yes, the brackets are the "tilted" one that Tippecanoe used to build, and have been rewelded as they are a bit weak. It does fit in well that way, and keeps the transmission pan level and flat.



Then intercooler is a odd part from a helicopter. 3" in and 3" out, and is about 6" x 4" x 10" core. A little small, but OK.



The wiring harness is only the Dodge harness up to the first main plug in. I cut the end off, and did a wire by wire connection. It took about 4 hours. Simple.
